On the cover: Gibson City resident Melanie Dammkoehler and her smiley dog, Timmy, are well-known for their daily walks around town. When Melanie started experiencing leg and back pain, she was determined to get the care she needed right away. As soon as she was cleared for activity by her surgeon, she was back on the path without pain to enjoy the changing seasons with Timmy by her side.
